It is often desirable to minimize ink in a plot. I have a faceted plot (facet_wrap) and would like to remove as much ink as possible yet maintain readability.
facet_wrap
The lemon package adds this functionality; see this vignette. (Example code and plot from there.)
library(lemon) p + facet_rep_grid(drv ~ cyl) + coord_capped_cart(bottom='both', left='both') + theme_bw() + theme(panel.border=element_blank(), axis.line=element_line())
